John Netto is speaking twice; that alone would be worth the price of admission. NYC is also attractive because of the wealth conscentration. Talk is cheap as you say. I'm sure there will be an abundance of HFT package reps there, too.
events like this are a scam. if you need to pay $3k (or $2,999.99999) to learn about HFT you are so far in over your head you would be better off throwing that $3k into any bucket shop and learning on a desk as you trade your account to $0
Netto is a good man, but arguably out of his depth speaking about hi-freq. I've heard his talk already at a similar conference. He's not a hard-core quant or programmer.
